Support Well-lit statue clearly showing all the elements of this mythical scene. -- Colin (talk) 15:23, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Neutral~~ Nice shot, but noise level could be better for a still motive. ISO 100 + tripod had done a better job. Are tripods not allowed there? --Tuxyso (talk) 01:06, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Tripods and any "professional" equipment are not allowed without prior permission from management and certainly not during daylight hours -- the place is absolutely mobbed. You can see from my settings (f2.8, 1/30s and iso400) that the light level is very low. This image hasn't been downsampled, so I think the noise/resolution is fine at 100% -- it improves to excellent at 66% reduction which is still a bigger photo than many nominations and many times higher than the minimum criteria of 2MP. So I think expecting ISO 100 levels of noise and sharpness isn't realistic. -- Colin (talk) 08:25, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support Then for sure: Well done! I cannot understand such strict rules in museums. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:47, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It lacks the bottom part of the sculpture, and the crop is very tight at the upper border.--Jebulon (talk) 22:07, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about that now. If you have a few hundred quid spare, I'd be very happy to go back and have another go :-) -- Colin (talk) 22:49, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
